'twas the night before xmas...

Looks like someone decided to spread some holiday cheer.

Can't exactly say much of it rubbed off on me, but it did put a smile on my face.

Some more seasonal merriment...

A window display at a greenhouse / shop about a block and a half from my place.


Ye Old Post Office.


Complete with some pre-inaugural preparations.




The view from Pennsylvania Avenue.


The National Menorah.


For the Pagans in the crowd.


And everyone's favorite reindeer with my favorite misfit toy.


Happy Christmakwanzikah, kids!

musical chairs

I love this song, but I love it ever so much more now...



Seriously, though. What's with this David the Gnome shit?!?? Enough already, it's creeping me out...

But I'd take evil lawn dwellers and zombies any day over this:



Bear candles engulfed in flames, creepy animatronic puppies, teeth and matches? And don't get me started on the chicken.

So very much is wrong with that. And yet it's so very, very right.
